JAPAN'S MISSION
IN THE FAR EAST
TO CARRY CIVILIZATION TO
CHINA AND COREA
TERRITORY IS NOT WANTED
Prof. Abe-lso Explains Intentions of
His Country In Defending Its
Monroe Doctrine Against
Russians
Professor Abe-lso, professor of so
ciology and economics in the Waseda
university of .Tapnn and manager of
the Jap bnseball team, delivered a Ipc
ture in tho chapel of tile University
of Southern California yesterday morn-
Ing, his theme being, "The Mission of
the JapanPßfi." Ills lecture whs heard
by the professors and Btudftntfl and ft
large audience of citizens and their
wives, who attended by Invitation.
In the course of his lecture, Profes
sor Abe-lso reviewed the history of
Japan and declared that the real spirit
of his nstlon hnd nlways been rather
for peace thnn war, although many
times It had been forced to arms In de
fense of country and In furtherance of
its great mission.
He stated that the .mission oC Japan
was to Introduce civilization Into China
and Korea, find preserve the peace and
.neutrality of these countries and to
prevent them becoming the prey of
designing nations. He declared that
Japan harbored no selfish motives in
assuming this role of clvlllzer of the
two nations, and that It could not ac
complish these results without the aid
of America and England, In which as
surances of the support of these na
tions had been given.
He said In part:
Conscious of Her Mission
"I can say it as a strong conviction,
that the Japanese nation is now con
scious of her own mission; that is,
to give the blessings of civilization to
Korea and China, just as you gave it
to her. What was the real meaning
of the Chino-Japanese war? It was to
maintain the independence of Korea as
well as to lead her into civilization.
Why are we now fighting against Rus
sia? Indeed it Is to protect our own
country from the aggression of the
Russian people, but we do not forget
even for a moment the introduction of
our civilization into China. Above all,
Japan is better qualified than Russia,
nay, even than America, to transmit
civilization to China. It Is needless
here to tell you that Japan and China
are of the same race and have allied
languages. They have, also, many
common points in philosophy and re
ligion. While you and other . people
are rajther strangers to the Koreans
• and Chinese, we may address - them
with words of intimacy like these:
, .'Well, my friends, I have suffered for
a long time on account of the old
fashioned .way of thinking, but lately I
have been entirely cured by taking a
draught of a new medicine called civ
ilization. I see you are suffering from
the same disease. Won't you take the
new medicine just as I did?' I sup
pose they would listen to our words
with much confidence.
Japs Teach Chinese
"It Is said that there are about 5000
Chinese students studying in Toklo
and vicinity. This Is good evidence
that they are anxious to learn from
us. .The fact that Japanese educators
are very much interested in the edu
cation of the Chinese young men may
be seen from the special provision
made for them in several schools. I
must emphasize the fact again In this
connection that territorial /obbery is
not the object of the Russo-Japanese
war. We are simply fighting to bring
Korea and China into the light of civ
ilization."
He further stated that Japan ex
pected the co-operation of England and
America in support of the Japanese
Monroe doctrine, which laid down the
principle that neither Korea nor China
should ever be the warring ground of
strong nations.

SAYS WAR IN EAST IS ONE OF CIVIUATION
PROFESSOR ABE.ISO
NO-SALOON LAW WILL TEND
TO REDUCE REAL ESTATE
SO SAYS PRESIDENT ERKEN.
BRECHER OF THE BOARD
Cites Experiences of Other Cities.
Looks for Depreciation of 25 Per
Cent— Half a Million In Sales
Await Ordinance's Defeat
t
Having been asked many times what,
if any, effect the anti-saloon ordinance,
If carried, would have on real estate
values In the city of Los Angeles,
Byron Erkenbrecher, president of the
Los Angeles realty board, yesterday
gave his views on the subject as fol
lows:
"I have attempted to look at this im
portant matter In a cold, dispassionate
and businesslike manner and with all
possible consideration for the prohibi
tionists, many of whom I can number
among my best friends. I will 'not at
tempt to apologize for the saloon, be
lieving fully that the city would be
better off with a smaller number, and
in some respects still better off with no
saloons. I believe In the work being
done by Francis Murphy, who tries to,
and does, persuade many persons not to
take liquor in any form, but I have, at
no time, any recollection of ever hear
ing him say that you shall not drink
Intoxicating liquors, but he does say,
'can you not do without It?'
Values Will Decrease
"Coming to what is generally nearest
and dearest to our hearts (our pocket
books), and in the way of affecting real
estate values and business interests, I
believe that if the ordinance passes real
estate will depreciate fully 25 per cent
in value, and I also believe that the
business of the city will be considerably
Injured.
"My reason for this statement is that
Los Angeles has been spending for
many years thousands upon thousands
of dollars in telling the world not only
what a delightful place this Is to live
in and what great advantages there are
for the Investor, but also about the
freedom that is enjoyed by Its citizens
in being able to do about what they
please, so long as they obey the law,
and, incidentally, attend to their own
affairs, but when we advertise to the
world that personal liberties have been
restricted I have grave fears that many
who would come here to live, Invest
and enjoy our advertised freedom
would give us the 'go by.'
Realty Deals Are Held Up
"A further reason. As president of
the Los Angeles realty board, which
organization comprises about 100 of the
leading and most reputable agents in
the city, naturally I am In close touch
with real estate interests, and, to my
knowledge, there are at least half a
million dollars of real estate deals that
are being held in abeyance until after
this election. If the ordinance carries
this money will not be invested us pro
posed but will seek an outlet in other
localities.
Regulate the Saloon
"I believe that saloons should be kept
under strict regulations. Women and
minors should, by all means, be kept
out of them, and should any ordinance
In regard to the sale of liquor be vio
lated the saloon man, his agent or em
ploye Bhould be severely, Impartially
and promptly punished therefor."

CIVIL SERVICE SCHEME
DECLARED A PUZZLE
SALARY ORDINANCES REFERRED
TO CITY ATTORNEY
Municipal Departments Trying to Get
In Line With Recent Rulings of
Civil Service Board Find Them,
selves in a Hopeless Tangle
After wrestling with the new salary
ordinances drawn for the engineer's
and electrician's departments, the 11
nance committee of the council pussed
the entire question up to .the city at
torney yesterday.
President Thomas of the civil ser
vice commission and City Attorney
Mathews were present at the confer
ence and a lengthy discussion was
held In an effort to get the various de
partments in line with the recent rul
ings of the civil service commission.
No agreement could be reached, how
ever, and the councllmen found them
selves In the meshes of a hopeless
tangle, which the city attorney himself
admitted is beyond him. City At
torney Mathews said in discussing the
civil service scheme that it Is a record
breaking "Chinese puzzle."
At the present time many men are
carried In the various departments on
requisition. These men always are ap
pointed from lists furnished by the
civil service commission, but that
board has ruled that after June 1 they
will certify to no more requisition
men.
Work Will Stop
This makes it imperative to put the
extra men on under ordinance and also
to provide for a number sufficient to
cover all emergencies. City Engineer
Stafford says that unless the council
passes the ordinance providing for men
In his department over the mayor's
veto on Monday that all public work
will have to be stopped immediately.
City Attorney Mathews has been
asked to pass upon the validity of the
two ordinances and render the finance
committee a report or opinion some
time before the council goes into ses
sion on Monday. If in the opinion of
the legal department of the city the
ordinances as drawn and adopted once
by the council are legal it is considered
certain that the city's legislative body
will pass the measures over the veto
with the emergency clause attached.
MOTHER AND HER LITTLE
DAUGHTER MISSING

for Ban Bernardino. This is the last
that was seen of the woman and child,

CHILD POET IS
WRITING A BOOK
HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH SHOWS
MUCH ABILITY
TALENT IS NATURAL GIFT
Paul Bradshaw Bachtell, Fifteen Years
Old, Uses Pure English In All
His Numerous
Poems
A hoy poet of remarkable ability In
the composition of verse and possessing
a style distinctly his own lives In Los
Angeles. He Is Paul Hradshaw Bach
tell, the fifteen-year-old son of Attor
ney N. B. Bachtell of 1637 West Twelfth
Htrrpt. HLsJB
Pnul Is now In his first year In the
high school and Is a bright, hard-work
ing student, ambitious to complete his
studies that he mny give hl« youthful
brnln full swing In his literary work.
He possesses wonderful skill In writing,
finds expression In verse much easier
than In prose and his poems have a
beautiful and very cntchy style, while
the expression is always In pure Eng
lish and his wosds and phrases nr«
properly used. His talent seems to be a
natural gift.
He is now engaged In writing a book
of poems and has written over 80,000
words, although the work Is far from
completion yet. In his writings he
chooses popular subjects and his ar
raignment of them Is in a decidedly
original and yet pleasing and enter
taining manner.
One of his best poems Is entitled
"To the Dead Rose Bush" and is an
ode to his favorite flower. The first
verse In this poem of fourteen verses
Is as follows:
"To the Dead Rose Bush"
I grieve for thee, my himh, thou'rt di>ad.
Hose hiifth, rose bush, why die so young?
In beauty's prime, and why is »ped
Thy life? Thou tllest, unwept, unsung.
Ah, no« swoet bush, I grieve for thee;
1 sorrow that thy life Is left.
In truth a leve I bore fur thee,
And now thy life, tliy llfo Is cleft.
This beautiful ode pays fine tribute
to the flower of America and closes
with the following farewell:
Uood night, sweet bush, but takp «3 thine
My thanks, my blessing, which I give
For nil the Joj-k, nil which were mine
When in youth's beauty thou didst live.
I'll remember thee, and thus repay
Some part for many gifts of bliss,
As many times I dreamt and Iny,
And heard thee tuned by zephyr's kiss;
Mournful music now I hear
Whispering thro' thy branches bare,
And If I lnipht. I drop a tear:
Uood night, sweet bush, good night fore'er.
Another poem, "The Flag," a patri
otic effusion, ' records the history of
America's banner from continental
days to the present time and gives the
child-author another opportunity of ex
hibiting his skill as a pleasing dilator
in verse upon popular themes. The
following Is an extract:
r ••'■;'> "The Flag"
To yon flag which doth wave
So proud and so true-
To yon flag of tho brave,
Which tut victories e'er knew,
Let thf trumpets now peal,
Let the cannons now ronr,
And cheer as ye kneel
Yon banner before.
The child is an inveterate student
and a lover of works of fiction, devot
ing his spare hours from study and
writing to perusal .of the works of
standard authors. He is especially fond
of poetic writings and has a small li
brary of books of verse which he values
highly and constantly consults as an
aid to his own writings.

BOY WRITES POETRY
f PAUL BRADSHAW BACHTELL
ESCAPED PRISONER i
FROM NORTH RECAPTURED
Was Serving Two Years' Sentence for
Larceny When He Made His
"Get.Away"
Morris Church, an escaped prisoner
from the county, jail of San Francisco,
was captured Ht the corner of Second
and Broadway by Officer Boyd last
nl b iit and taken to the city prison,
where he will be held pending, the ar
rival of an officer from the north.
About two weeks ago, Church, who
was acting as n trusty in the county
jail, was taken to San Francisco to
have his teeth attended to by a dentist.
He was escorted by two officers, who
sat in the reception room while Church
was In the dentist's chair. When tha
dentist's back was turned, Church
sprang from the chair, ran out of the
office, down three (lights of stairs and
made his escape. The officers who
were sent to guard Church while ha
was In the dentist's office were dis
charged and a search; established for
the missing prisoner. :
Last evening three men, who said
that they knew Church, reported to tha
police that they had seen him on
Broadway. Capt. Auble detailed Officer
Boyd to find the man and in less than
ten minutes he was placed under ar
rest.
Church was serving a two-years' sen
tence for stealing guns and kodaks
from San Francisco stores. It was his
practice to go to these stores, order
goods sent to his house and then wait
for the arrival of the errand boys with
them. He would take the goods, refuse
to pay for them and make his escape.
